Belly Cleaning...?

I won't dispute that but I use it on a fiberglas composite fuselage

A slight enhancement...put the mineral spirits in a spray bottle and
mist it on the belly. Wipe off later with the cloth of your choice.
This keeps the stuff from running down your arm and pooling in your
arm pits.

..I use Carbon-X mixed 2:1 Water to CVarbon-X in a pint spray bottle.
It removes bugs, and grease. Works great and won't hurt the plane. I
use the same stuff 60:1 for washing the plane.

I don't really like the idea of the mineral spirits.

Why not? Environmental issues? You've got me curious.

I would agree that precautions need to be taken, that stuff is nasty if
you read the msds on it. But it didn't seem to affect Cessna and their
suggesting it's usage on planes back in the 70's.

I use Turtle wax. It takes the grease off and if done on a monthly schedule is
not a big job.
